For black parents, "The Talk" isn't about the birds and the bees. It's a must-have conversation in which parents prepare their children to face a world with racial bias and try to protect them from the harmful effects of prejudice.

Procter & Gamble wanted to find ways to authentically connect with African-American consumers and use its advertising voice for good and growth. With that, campaign The Talk was created.
